Keto / Ketovore Chicken Nuggets - Super Easy to Make, 1g Carbs per 4 Nuggets

[@SeriousKeto]

Something I should have addressed in the video is using chicken that isn't canned. You can absolutely do that - I'd recommend either breast meat or a combination of breast and thigh. I should be cooked though, and for that, I recommend a "moist" cooking method: sous vide, pressure cooking, steaming or poaching. This will ensure that your nuggets aren't dry. The amount to use would be the same as the drained weight of the canned chicken - 7oz or roughly 200g.

[@franceswatts4001]

I was about to ask the question as we don’t get canned chicken here. Well, only in a sauce.

[@donproctor3445]

LOL I was scrolling to ask this question also. I have used home made pork panko ( food process pork rinds) in a lot of things. I find that the pork panko can get hard and very crunchy when used as a breading. It also creates a different chew and mouth feel almost like to thick and more effort to swallow. I mean we still use it but its a work in progress. It does make an excellent substitute for bread crumbs when making meatloaf! ! ! !

[@darunealbane]

Try DanOs seasoning

[@kingomar7332]

yea i think rotisserie chicken might be the best option, its super moist (fresh at least)

[@throwaway2lurk]

I've made a recipe like this a few times in the past and I agree that the canned chicken is salty. So I started cooking my own chicken an put it in the food processor and form my patties. Also VERY good and a lot less sodium. I use this same breading to make chicken fingers with chicken breasts. I also add parmesan, garlic powder, salt & pepper to my breading for those and make 3 pounds at a time to have them ready in the freezer for quick pops into the air fryer. Thanks for a great recipe!

[@donnanordman1584]

I have a grinding attachment for my kitchenaid and I've made some great chicken patties without all that salt, but canned chicken would be great in a pinch...just got to figure out if I can rinse that salty taste out or mask it with something

[@-.Steven]

This is Great! In the past week I saw a news item about a recall on Dino nuggets, and I mentioned to my wife that those "things" were not fit for human consumption even when not under recall. Then my wife and I talked about how often we fed our children Dino nuggets as they were growing up. Makes me sad and 🤢 to think about! Now these nuggets from Serious Keto on the other hand! They are Scrumptious, Delicious and something you'll never have to be ashamed to have fed your children, or eaten yourself. Thanks Steve!

[@SCash-rl5ee]

I'm so jazzed over this recipe. My non keto grandkids (all teens) will have no problem scarfing these down and these are way healthier than any frozen nuggets in the grocery store. I'll probably triple the recipe and serve some hot and fresh for dinner and then either refrigerate or freeze the rest for them to pop in the air fryer. Thanks!

[@SeriousKeto]

I'm definitely going to triple my next batch and freeze them. I suspect that the coating would get even crispier after reheating in an air fryer.

[@LoveWinsMovement]

Cannot wait to make these!!!

[@cherylschneider3294]

I can't wait to try this 😊

[@4eyeslv72]

Thanks for a recipe that doesn't use special equipment! Can't wait to try it!

This recipe looks delish and easy. Also love how your subscriber #s continue to grow. The word is getting around, Steve.

[@patriciariddle2997]

Love this! I have seen so many recipes on facebook for chicken nuggets and the amounts are all over the place. I always have some Kirkland canned chicken on the shelf for a quick meal now and then. I also can my own chicken so that would work too. Thanks for all your experimentation!

[@TheeRustyCage]

Wow this looks so easy, quick and crunchy. Gonna do this one for sure 🔥

[@margaretlewis8189]

Perfect! I was looking for a keto chicken nugget recipe. I’ll be making this later today! Thanks! Plus you can’t get frozen chicken patties(breaded)at my Costco. Now I can make my own!

[@22qcat]

Well, you could have gone ahead & used the 1st video you made, but you didn’t-you wanted to get it just right. 👍🏻 I never feel like you put out a video, just for the sake of putting out a video, & that’s one thing that separates you from many other channels. Thank you! And I will be making these soon!

[@frances4309]

Thanks, Steve. I love that these are baked and not fried! I rarely buy canned chicken, but will have to swing by the store this weekend for some.

[@mstyblu379]

I made them and they are a hit in my home. Such an easy recipe too! Thanks Steve.

[@SeriousKeto]

Awesome, thanks for sharing. I think these can really be customized by the pork rind flavor and seasoning a person uses. I look forward to further experiments (both mine and yours). 😉

[@Tru_G.R.I.T]

I made these tonight... left off the breading and fried in avocado oil. Made a mustard bbq sauce dipping sauce. Delicious

[@heathermarie1380]

My favorite keto chicken nugget so far is made by Chef fat grams. This one looks good too and is very similar to his. I’ll have to give it a try. Thanks

[@esther.f.g]

Thank Steve for another easy and cheap recipe that all the family can enjoy, I am going to make it this week end, perfect for the kids

[@rancancookcanoy9768]

Steve, looking forward to trying this recipe. Thank you. Have a great rest of your week.

[@kazzaroo]

I made this yesterday! ❤❤❤❤❤thank you soo much they were soo yummy my son and husband kept eating my lunch! Hehe ! I used 1 whole chicken breast and whizzed it up instead of can chicken. I also added cayenne pepper to the bread mix about a tsp. Love from UK ~x~

[@SeriousKeto]

So glad you liked it!

[@evandegenfelder4554]

Wow, easy peasy and sounding like supper for tonight! Thanks Steve!

[@judyduran2306]

I would drain the liquid from the chicken can into my dog's dish. Add her regular food and mix. She loves it! Great recipe. Thanks.

[@pamelanaylorsings1126]

This recipe changed my life. This one and Keto Twins' chaffle. And your paffle, love that, too. I eat one of these daily. Thank you. ❤

[@antheitmann152]

I just made these for lunch and my non-keto husband and I both thought they were fantastic! Thank you! The breading makes it!

[@helenyang4482]

I tried it today it’s really delicious I don’t have chicken in can instead I used the fresh chicken breast cooked it first w water and shredded it

[@jilbertb]

Oooo, will try with adding italian seasoning and maybe a little parm! Yum! Thanks Steve!

[@SeriousKeto]

I'm thinking the chicken parm sandwich from Burger King could be pretty easy to recreate. I don't know if they still have that sandwich, as I haven't been to a BK in close to 20 years...

[@angeladiaz7746]

I get happy when a keto recipe is posted that’s not a dessert 👍🏻❤️

[@janedoe0000]

I made these for my keto dinner tonight. The seasonings I used were: 1/4 teaspoon each of garlic powder, onion powder and SMOKED paprika. They turned out SO GOOD! And I don't even normally like the taste of pork panko. (I used Porq brand panko, by the way. They have smoke flavor added.) The sauce I used was G. Hughes hickory barbecue sugar free sauce. I can finally have chicken nuggets like my kids!

[@SeriousKeto]

Sounds great!

[@mickeyzalusky9312]

Steve, made you nuggets for lunch today. They were very tasty. A way to used up any leftover coating is to put it in a nonstick pan and make Frico. After all it’s just pork crumbs and cheese. The Frico can be made in the microwave too.

[@starfire8221]

You have given me some great ideas! Will try these tonight. Then if I like on to salmon and tuna. Hope they work in my air fryer. I love both of those sauces. Thanks for this video.

Hi Steve. They look delicious! I have to be honest, I never buy canned chicken. It’s just not something I was raised on or ever thought about.

[@-.Steven]

2:20 I'm thinking about this calendar my county government put out years ago about not draining your canned fruit "juice" (which is in reality just sugar water) into your kitchen sink and water system, which the municipality then had to deal with. Ever since then I drain and strain as much as I can into a plastic produce bag that then goes in the trash / landfill, as opposed to the water system. And as a plumber (not by trade but by necessity) I've installed many sinks, faucets, drain pipes, and remodels, and seen many pipes (especially kitchen pipes) that are nearly clogged with this gray - blackish sludge, GROSS! I recommend folks use an enzyme in your drains to eat as much of that "stuff" as possible, and do everything you possibly can to Not put anything down the drain. OK, I'll climb down from my soap box. Steve and Serious Keto are The Best! ❤ Long Live Serious Keto!! ❤

I found a recipe for fried pickles that called for a bit of egg white powder mixed into my breading. It was great. Plus you add more protein.

[@SeriousKeto]

I've found that when doing a 3 stage dredge, using whey protein or egg white powder for stage 1 helps create a really crispy end product (and helps the beaten egg from stage 2 adhere better).

[@peggyfitzmaurice4100]

[@rachaelbarr3735]

Back in the day my son was a chicken nugget fiend. My MIL always got them from Schwann's which, back then were pretty clean (especially compared to grocery store or fast food chains at that time. Schwann's changed their formula about the time my son grew into more adult food preferences, and there may be some better store bought options now? Just not something i buy). Anyway, to make a more adult friendly meal with them, I used to make a salad with the chicken nuggets (while he had his with ketchup), some mandarin orange wedges, cashews or almonds and a honey ginger mustard (also had garlic and evoo) dressing over romaine, etc. Except for the fruit, i bet these could make an excellent re-creation with a homemade ketofied dressing... Thanks, Steve!

I would’ve loved to see Colton’s response to the chicken nuggets! They look totally delicious. I have been trying to find recipes using canned chicken and I find this in my feed! Perfect timing. I bought a case of it when I was making 2KrazyKeto’s chicken pizza 2.0. I haven’t made that in awhile and have a few cans left. I can’t wait to try the recipe. Was thinking of adding Trader Joe’s Everything but the Leftovers seasoning.

[@suethompson2969]

Love the crunch!!! Can't wait to make these for my grandsons. Have you ever tried doing it with ground chicken, as opposed to the canned?

[@SeriousKeto]

The issues with ground chicken that I see or have experienced are: 1) It gets pretty dry during the baking 2) The texture is more dense than with using canned chicken 3) With canned chicken, it's already cooked, so there's no risk in "undercooking" That said, I think if someone had some poached, steamed or pressure cooked chicken breasts and/or thighs, they could shred that up and use them in this recipe for what I suspect would be both a taste and texture upgrade.

[@LoveWinsMovement]

Good question! Good answer!

[@informedlady]

I would love to turn this into a chicken sandwich patty! Definitely not gourmet either, but it would be a nostalgia win for sure. Thanks for the recipe, Steve!
